If I could play Devil's Avocado for a minute, I think we should freak the geek out!
Cool, I was totally unaware of Michael Mann's latest project, Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale (Oh, good for you!), and that French chick who won best actress at last year's Oscars who tried to kill Amelie once. Just saw the trailer yesterday, and it looks like it'll be Heat set in the 30s or 40s or whenever the hell Dillinger was around. It being a Mann movie means it will most likely have loud, "realistic" (as opposed to HK-style) gunplay, as seen in the aforementioned Heat, Collateral or the Miami Vice movie.
I mean, Tommy guns abound in the trailer, and I also noticed someone doing an Epic Maneuver and firing a Winchester M1887, which of course is the 10 gauge lever action shotgun iconically used by Arnold in Terminator 2. Heh, it most likely being a movie with cool scenes with guns, I was hoping they'd feature the BAR, even though that's a weapon linked more famously to Bonnie and Clyde. But lo and behold, I was watching the trailer again, and the scene right after the guy talks about "America's first war on crime", there's someone firing a BAR!
I mean, while the Thompson SMG is the more iconic weapon of the gangsters of the era, I think the BAR is by far the cooler weapon. I mean, the former is merely a submachine gun, albeit chambered for .45 acp, which is a good pistol round. But the latter is practically a machine gun, chambered for the awesome .30-06. No one's gonna mess with you while you're carrying that around! While the ginormous cars of that era did provide protection from the .45, the .30-06 would saw through those cars like a hot knife through butter!
Heh, since God of War III is in development right now, GT had a trailer showing the evolution of Kratos from the first GoW to what we see in the new GoW III trailer. Man, I forgot how ridiculously brutal and violent those games are. Heh, remember back in the days of yore, when adults were pitching a fit over the violence in Mortal Kombat? Man, MK doesn't have anything on these games today. Immolation, decapitation, ripping out spines? That's kinda par for the course. Mebbe our society is a little desensitized to violence. (Ironic that I'm making such a statement, given the previous paragraph I was practically creaming on how cool some gun was).
Some more Lost commentary: Now, I've never actually shipped Juliet/Sawyer. But they do seem sweet together, and I can see how it happens. I mean, they were both in love with people who were in love with someone else. Well, Juliet would always be second place to Kate in Jack's heart, and while I think Kate actually loves Saywer more, he's too much like her father, and her head keeps telling her Jack is the smarter choice. So with those two gone, they had that to bond over.
Now, while Kate is friggin' hot, if Sawyer leaves Juliet for her, he's a huge dick! Yes, Skate and Jacket are cooler portmanteaus then Jate and whatever portmanteau they have for Sawyer/Juliet (Juyer? Though that would end up sounding like "Jewier"). But seriously, leaving what he has to get jerked around by that bitch again? (Hey, she kinda is one!) I mean, he knew Kate for what, 3 months? And Jack and Juliet only knew each other for a little less than that. Sawyer and Juliet have had three years together now! And they seem to be working out. Yeah, Jack and Kate also gave it a go for that long, but it didn't last. But T-S for them, they made their choices!
Who cares about the 4 toed statue, or the island moving through time, I wanna know how this quadrangle turns out!

Seriously man, you and me, we're fucking done professionally...
